FLOP FIVE

TOP TEN.

Why did we like them?!Broadly, for their newsstand appeal, editorial vision, visual communication, cover story lines and the design discipline. But microscopically, they all have several reasons to be in the list of TOP TEN for this month. We have gone thorough more than 350 magazines published in India in English or Hindi language during the month of January. Magazines were considered from all the genres including News, Business, General Interest, Lifestyle, Men’s, Women’s, Fashion, Home, Entertainment, Technology, Culture, Children, Arts, Travel, Parenting, Health and Hobbies. Covers for this study and for the representation purpose are sourced from newsstands, publications’ own websites & online magazine stores.
